Our verdict on each
Hoover
Hoover suits UK buyers who want a full floor-care and cooking range in one place, backed by a Haier legal entity and long parts availability. Its entry vacuum price of £64.99 sits well inside the category, while the flagship reaches £319.99 with lidar and a self-empty dock.
Samsung
Samsung suits households that want the big appliances and the smart kit working from a single app, with spare parts held for 10 years after purchase. You pay a premium against Exquisit and Bauknecht for that joined-up range, and the robot vacuum is the weakest part of the picture.

Pros and cons
Hoover
Pros
- Entry price of £64.99 places Hoover near the front of the field on price at entry, and the flagship adds lidar and a self-empty dock.
- The range covers robot vacuum, stick and upright, so a single brand covers robot, stick, upright, wet-dry and handheld cleaning.
- Support runs on email, chat and phone, and a spare parts shop plus 10 years of parts cover keeps machines in service.
Cons
- Suction of 5,000 Pa sits below a category median of 15,000 Pa, so deep carpet pile is not the strong suit.
- Obstacle avoidance is listed as none, which leaves cables and clutter to be moved by hand.
- Suction ranks 40 of 46 brands, and the flagship rank is 29 of 66.
Samsung
Pros
- The listed washing machine runs at 32 kWh a year, so a weekly habit stays cheap to run.
- A single app covers the kit, with a mobile app included, hub, sensor and plug in one place, and no hub required.
- Protocols matter, thread and zigbee and ecosystems smartthings and matter let existing sensors and plugs join rather than be replaced.
Cons
- Warranty of 2 years is short next to the 10 years parts commitment, so a machine can outlive its cover.
- Robot vacuum suction of 6,000 Pa sits well under the 15,000 Pa site median, so deep carpet is not its strength.
- The market listed is GB alone, so delivery and installation terms are given for that market only.
Who each suits
Hoover
Who it suits
- Households wanting robots, stick, upright, wet-dry and handheld models under one roof
- GB shoppers who prioritise entry price over peak suction
- Buyers who value a spare parts shop and 10 years of parts cover
Who should look elsewhere
- Homes with thick carpet where suction of 5,000 Pa is not enough
- Buyers who want object recognition, since obstacle avoidance is none
- Shoppers outside GB
Samsung
Who it suits
- Households replacing a full white goods set, since washing machine, dryer and dishwasher and WW11DB8B95GBU1, RL38C776ASR/EU, NV7B5750TAK-U4 cover washer, fridge, oven and hob in one range.
- Households already running SmartThings, with matter, thread and zigbee and no hub needed, so appliances and sensors share one app.
- Energy-minded households, where 32 kWh a year sets a low running cost for frequent loads.
Who should look elsewhere
- Budget buyers: Exquisit covers the same core appliances, while this range opens at $649.
- Shoppers who want a cooker in the same range: Bauknecht lists one and this range does not, so check Bauknecht first.

Questions about each
Hoover
What does the cheapest Hoover vacuum cost?+
Hoover's vacuum entry price is £64.99, which is well under the site's typical mid-range price of €61.38. At that level the models are compact machines rather than full self-emptying robots. A phone-based tidy-up on hard floors is the realistic target here.
What does the flagship Hoover robot cost?+
The flagship is listed at £319.99 and it is the model that adds a self-empty dock and lidar. Hoover's flagship rank is 29 of 66 brands, so the top of the range is mid-table. Buyers on a tight budget can start much lower with £64.99.
Samsung
How much does a Samsung appliance cost at the entry end?+
The listed starting price is $649, and it comes from a countertop convection microwave rather than a washing machine or fridge, so a full kitchen set sits above that figure. These are single purchases rather than subscriptions, so the entry price is the number to plan around rather than a figure that renews later.
How long is the warranty, and will parts still be available later?+
Warranty cover on the appliances runs for 2 years, and spare parts are held for 10 years, with a spare parts shop listed as well. For a fitted kitchen the parts figure is the more useful of the pair, since a failed pump or door seal takes longer to sort than a simple swap. Read the terms, since a parts promise and a warranty are different cover.
